My 340 is currently sitting on the following:
They have a bit of corrosion on the edges and what-not, tempted to get them refurbed as i dont want to change the originality of the car, at all. I love the fact it's 27 years old and still looks like it came out of the factory a week ago
As far as im aware, and i could be wrong, but 340's didnt come with alloys at all? 360's did but 340's didnt? Maybe im wrong. But what im also tempted by instead of refurbing my current wheels is sourcing some alloys that look original but just tidy the appearance of the car up a bit, any suggestions?
Also looking at other things bar wheels that i can upgrade while remaining original but i can make other threads for that when need be.

You'll be wanting a set of Hercules or Columbia for the OEM+ look
Bonus with the Hercules 13" type you'll be able to use the same tyres. They were fitted to some 340 special editions too.
